Breathing Problem

Asked for Female, 33 years

I do smoke but am not a chain smoker. My office is on the third floor so I have to climb a flight of stairs and felt breathless upon reaching office. Now I feel more out of breath and noticed my fingernails turning blue. What should I do?

Dear Patient,

Blue extremities- fingertip, nose, ears etc- mean lack of oxygenated blood reaching them. You should consider seeing a pulmonologist for a general review and consider quitting cigarettes. Your low oxygenation may or may not be the cause of smoking but is definitely worsened by being a smoker. Consider adopting s healthier lifestyle with regular walks for the 10-15 mins minimum, 16 glasses of water per day and a good serving of fruits and vegetables daily. Read about 'Raynaud's phenomenon'.
